One quarter turn of the screw will move the bottom rail up or down approximately 1 4". Over-turning the adjustment screw (more than 1" of adjustment) can cause the cord to tangle or wedge inside the rail. The screw should turn easily - Do Not Force. Troubleshooting Problem 1. The shade will not stay down Solution The fabric may want to spring up because it was fabricated primarily in the closed position. With clean hands, gently pull down on a section of cells to relax the pleats. Repeat with another section of cells until the fabric is relaxed. Do not tightly stack the shade for 24 hours. 2. The pleats billow out when the shade is raised. Pleats may settle and stretch out when left in one position for extended periods of time. Raise the shade very slowly to allow the retraction mechanism to pull up the stretched fabric. Helpful Tip: Shades that are raised regularly will be less subject to pleat settling and will remain looking fresh and new.
